Last year, on a hot April afternoon in Chandigarh we bowed our heads to enter a low door. We knew this was a unique creation of Nek Chand but were unprepared for his sheer genius and creativity. Stretched before us was the splendid Rock Garden.
Creations from waste are tastefully placed in a forty-acre expanse of greenery. Nek Chand passed away yesterday and has left behind a symbol of conservation that shows how broken china, gunny bags ,tires, broken bangles and even human hair from barber shops can be used to create a vast space of recreation and joy to visitors across the world.
My article covering the visit appeared in the 'Travel' section of the Sunday Herald on 22nd June 2014. You can read it here.
